Abstract
A push-in wire connector for electrically interconnecting multiple wires together is disclosed to have a guide and lock element, which is mated with a conduction and retention element and assembled inside the enclosing space of an enclosing element. Multiple wire insertion channels are provided inside the connector for receiving the insertion of wires. Each of the insertion channels includes a main port section led in by an insertion port for guiding the insertion of a stripped end of a wire. A wire engagement segment follows the main portion section formed by the surrounding of a conduction plate at the bottom, an insertion channel separation wall at one or both sides, and the resilient spring legs on the top. The wire engagement segment prevents the bending or deflection of the inserted wire end thereby ensuring secure and good electrical conduction between the inserted wires.
